Not to mention Bai Shiyuan, even Chi Qiaoyu has a strong backer. The reason he behaves so humbly and politely now is just to give face to Zhao Lin, or to give face to the person behind Zhao Lin.

"Okay, this meeting ends here. When you go back, please write a work plan and submit it." Zhao Lin instructed.

Bai Shiyuan and Chi Qiaoyu were stunned.

Work plan?

Although it was the first time they heard this word, they could understand its meaning.

But, is it that serious?

Each government office has a work plan and they also need to report to their superiors. In particular, local officials have to report to the capital every three years and explain their past and future work clearly.

But, there is still this but.

Is it that so?

Let’s go back and discuss it, then get started.

Zhao Lin saw the two men's bewildered expressions and said, "Write down your upcoming work plans. What do you plan to do within the next year, what goals do you want to achieve, what goals do you want to achieve within three years, and so on. This governor will review your work based on your work plans."

Bai Shiyuan and Chi Qiaoyu immediately felt nervous.

Could it be that Zhao Lin is using this excuse to mess with them?

Zhao Lin sighed when he saw this and said, "Bring me some paper and pen."

After the maid brought him paper and pen, Zhao Lin began to write and draw.

Bai Shiyuan and Chi Qiaoyu both stretched their necks to see what Zhao Lin was writing.

It took a full half hour to finish. Zhao Lin sighed, "It's been so long, I've forgotten the format. You two, fill out the form according to this format and give it to me within three days."

Zhao Lin threw the work schedule to Chi Qiaoyu, who quickly caught it, took a look at it, and was immediately shocked.

Bai Shiyuan was even more curious about what had been written to cause Chi Qiaoyu to have such an expression.

Chi Qiaoyu said nothing and handed the work plan to Bai Shiyuan. Bai Shiyuan also fell silent after reading it.

This table clearly states what work the two provinces need to do in the next three years, which department is responsible, which part cooperates, who is in charge, when to start, when to complete, what the target requirements are, who will supervise and evaluate, when to supervise and evaluate, etc.

If we follow this table, the general work of the two provinces in the next three years will basically be determined.

What was done, who did it, was it done, and what was the result.

Clearly and obviously.

Trying to fool around? No way.

a long time.

Chi Qiaoyu sighed deeply, "I finally understand why Your Majesty likes the Governor so much. You are worthy."

Chi Qiaoyu would also like such a capable and hardworking subordinate.

Bai Shiyuan didn't say anything, but just held the form tightly.

This table almost broke Bai Shiyuan's pride.

Such a simple table can be written by anyone who can read.

However, there are at least millions of scholars in the world. Who can write it?

Only Zhao Lin.

"When you two return, fill out this form and submit it to me within three days. Can you do that?"

Zhao Lin didn't care what the two people thought, he just asked.

Chi Qiaoyu immediately said, "If you can't do this, I'd rather die."

Zhao Lin looked at Bai Shiyuan.

Bai Shiyuan put away his schedule and bowed solemnly to Zhao Lin: "I do the same."

"Very good. I won't keep you here any longer. Go and get busy." Zhao Lin picked up the teacup.

Bai Shiyuan and Chi Qiaoyu wisely said goodbye and left.

Soon, the two met again in a restaurant.

"What can I do for you, Lord Chi?" Bai Shiyuan asked.

Chi Qiaoyu asked, "Master Bai, what do you think of the Governor's work schedule?"

"good!"

Bai Shiyuan expressed his opinion in just one word.

Chi Qiaoyu sighed, "That's great! I've studied hard since I was young and entered the government at the age of twenty-eight. It's been twenty years now, but this is the first time I've seen a watch like this."

"This kind of work schedule isn't particularly surprising, but it can significantly improve government efficiency."

"Our Governor-General is truly remarkable."

Bai Shiyuan asked, "Lord Chi, did you ask me to come down here just to hear you praise the Governor?"

Chi Qiaoyu smiled and said, "Master Bai, what are you talking about? I was just speaking my mind. Okay, let's get down to business. I asked Master Bai to come here mainly to discuss how to fill out this form. If I fill out too much, and if I fail to complete it, it will definitely displease the Governor. If I fill out too little, I'm afraid the Governor will think I'm incompetent, or that I'm pretending to obey but actually disobeying him, which is also not good. So I would like to ask Master Bai for advice on how to fill out this form."

Bai Shiyuan frowned and said, "This is the first time I've seen a form like this. It's similar to the process document, though more detailed. Shouldn't it be easier to fill out?"

Chi Qiaoyu laughed and said, "Master Bai, are you unwilling to tell me the truth? The time limit document only stipulates some upcoming projects, which is completely different from this work schedule."

Bai Shiyuan sighed, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know how to say it. In fact, I think the Governor wants to do something big, so we might as well fill it out truthfully."

Chi Qiaoyu sighed and said, "This is the only way."

Leaving the restaurant and getting into the carriage, Chi Qiaoyu snorted coldly, "This Bai Shiyuan, who is said to be a bright and noble person, is actually hypocritical. He doesn't tell the truth at all. Is he afraid that I can write better than you? But then again, if I can get General Zhao Lin's approval on this form, it would be a good idea."

After a pause, Chi Qiaoyu sighed softly, "Eighteen-year-old Governor, how kind Heaven has been to him."

Bai Shiyuan returned to the Jiujiang Governor's Office and sat in silence for a moment. He then personally copied the work schedule and said, "Send it to the old man by express horse."
